NBC Sweeps Ratings -- Finshes Last For First Time And Behind Univision


Is this a signal for bad times to come?

Comcast bought NBC in 2009 but they are buying the rest of it.

Comcast Buys NBC Universal: Good Or Bad? - Seeking Alpha

Lets talk about the failure of the large networks. What will they do?

Netflix has produced the first of their content. What is going to happen there?

I personally thing NBC is going to die off a painful death. The only reason I think they are floating is that Comcast bought them.

They are idiots there. They had a hit show, Revolution, so what do they do? Take it off the air for 3-4 months. I saw that they acknowledge that that will likely lose them viewers. Fringe was a great program that struggled in the ratings because they were constantly moving its slot. It had at times a fairly complicated plot lines and it would go on hiatus for months and then it was hard to get back into the show when it returned. That is all besides the other issue of NBC's political leanings that they make all to obvious in their news programs and in their entertainment programming. They now refuse to take any advertising from gun related businesses. So eff them, let them die.

Graduate from a Liberal thought college. Put on suit and tie. Go forth into the world to effect change taught you at said liberal school. Rise up in the ranks at large network on your education status from said lib institution. Attempt to change the world through this media. Realize all to late that you are an over (or under) educated idiot and experience epic fail on a grand scale.

Al Sharpton and Piers Morgan (the lesbo, and friends included) are the most disgustingly unashamed puppets of the president this country has ever seen in the media. Every time they open their mouths and profess their love and admiration for our dear leader, I feel like I am living in North Korea! They are the most toxic personalities on TV.

The only thing good NBC had was Saturday Night Live and Thursday night comedies like The Office, and 30 Rock, but now that I have seen those actors in an anti-gun commercial I have gone on FULL NBC BOYCOTT. I am looking for a way to actually banish the channel from my television so I don't accidentally flip on that garbage.

This!

Ditch cable. Get a Roku box with Netflix, Hulu, and tons of other channels. Best move ever.

Roku is good...

Boxee is better....

Cheap desktop with HDMI output = KING!!!



If not for my fiance unwillingness to learn how to use the computer to find shows she likes... I would never pay for cable again

The internet has all the programming anyone could ever want if you know how to find it and where to look for it.

NBC just hired the POTUS' former WH Chief of Staff David Axelrod back. I won't watch NBC even if IU is playing.

NBC and Comcast, there's a marriage made in hell.

One provides lousy, biased programming, the other struggles to provide decent quality service. I hope both of them get either bought out, or outright fail.

 

[Sfrandolph]

Based on the bias of their news (lol) presentations and the quality of their programming, I'm really surprised that they ended up as high as they did. I personally put them below OWN.

I stopped watching NBC last year. Too bad, because I really liked Sunday Night Football until Costas ruined it for me.

It still amazes me how many really good TV shows were taken off the air because they were unlucky enough to be picked up by NBC and then trashed by scheduling and general stupidity of the network.

 

[level.eleven]

Conservatives are cheering that NBC is losing and Univision is winning.

Awkward.

I ditched cable and got netflix a long time ago, i also have a smart TV that hooks to the internet to download whatever i want. its really nice, especially having the kids stuff on netflix and i can control what she watches. NBC might be the next MSNBC, as they lose viewers they feel they need to become more extreme to attract more people, and the more extreme liberal they get the more viewers they lose. its hilarious to watch but sad that people are actually like this. i'd rather get the news from my dog rather than watch any of the big media networks nightly news, its so terrible.

Maybe if Chris Mattews and Rachel Maddow were to appear au naturel the ratings might... well, forget it.
